Sure, you could spend a spring weekend lounging by the beach, sipping overpriced lattes, and pretending your life is a rom-com. Or… you could get filthy, exhausted, and completely humiliated at Tough Mudder Los Angeles. We’re talking mud, sweat, and questionable decisions just an hour outside LA, at the gloriously gritty Lake Elsinore Raceway.
This isn’t your Instagram-ready SoCal getaway. Forget the glitz and glam. Here, the hills are steep, the mud is deep, and your pride is optional. Here’s everything you need to know about Tough Mudder Los Angeles.
Tough Mudder Los Angeles: The Dirty Details
- Location: Lake Elsinore Raceway, 20700 Cereal St, Lake Elsinore, CA 92530
- Date: March 20
- Distances: 5K/12+ obstacles, 15K/20 obstacles, Infinity/8 hours
About the Venue
Situated right by the lake, Lake Elsinore Raceway is a famous Southern California motocross track known for its brutal terrain and heavy dirt. The elevation gains make for the ideally demanding ascents and thrilling descents that Mudders know and love (to hate).
Get ready to motor around this rugged dirt track, kicking up dust, trudging through sand, persevering through obstacles, and sinking deep into the mud. If you’re familiar with California’s topography, you’ll appreciate that this course features some serious, calf-burning elevation changes. It’s not for the faint of heart, but make it up the ridges and you’ll be rewarded with some stellar views that you’ll remember much longer than the pain it took to get there.
